lyrics

1. See the sun ride high across the blue,

See the summer eucalyptus hue,

See the jacarandas all in bloom,

Signal Christ will soon be here.

2. See the star that points the way to life,

See the kings who travel through the night,

See young Mary riding in her plight

With the child still in the womb.

3. Praise the child we now await to come,

Praise the boy born as the Father's son,

For this baby is the only one

Who can lead us back to God.

Bridge
But the summer sun would wither all -
Our souls cry out for water.
All alone, out in the searing winds,
His life will soon be given.

4. But for now our child will soon be born,

Born our brother in the early morn,
Born a servant who will calm the storm
That divides us from our Lord.
